About us! {top}
We (Paul & Linda) have been married 30+ wonderful years and have been raising children for all but one year!
These years have humbled and challenged us, taught and sanctified us. This has not changed much with four teens at home and now homeschooling five children!
Family life has been enriching. The joy from our eight children deepens even further with visits from our two nearby grandchildren (did you see the video above?).
Principles & Practices of Biblical Parenting carefully presents the teachings we have observed in God’s Word and how they affected the way we raised our children. We wanted more in this book, though.
We also share with you practical ways we have guided our children in various situations from tots to teens because of those Biblical truths. We took a long time to learn these things but hope you can learn and quickly profit from them from this book. On the left our grandchild plays in Grandpa's study without touching his books. New generation, same Biblical teachings.
Our whole family has benefited from the instructions in God’s Word:
A great marriage
Good children
A godly family
This is what our Lord wants for all of us! {top}
